Needs it's firmware and web images upgrading to interoprate with WEP. Bridge only - no filtering by MAC, no NAT, no DHCP, etc. Configurable only by HTTP. Seems to work pretty well. Cheap. External antennae connection and supplied with a reasonable antennae. The one I have is; http://www.smc.com/smc/common/prodPreview.cfm?prod_code=SMC2652W and can be found for $200 right now. > Linksys Instant Wireless Network Access Point 11Mbps 802.11b > Wireless Network Access Point $220 > D-Link DI-714 Wireless Gateway Wireless Gateway with a > Built-In Four Port Switch with 128-bit WEP Encryption $220 > D-Link DI-713P Wireless Gateway Wireless Gateway with a > Built-In Three Port Switched Print Server with 128-bit > WEP Encryption $235 > D-Link DWL-1000AP Wireless Access Point 11Mbps 802.11B > Wireless LAN Access Point with 40-bit encryption $180 Another one to consider is the Buffalo Tech models. The "router" model is basicly an airport (same guts, IIRC) minus the phone jack and is only $189.00. Unsure about 128bit WEP. http://www.techworks.com/products/airstation-catv-dsl.html P. -- pir pir@pir.net pir@net.tufts.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
